Health Benefits FAQs

Does coffee inhibit the absorption of vitamins when a person has a low coffee consumption of, say, 1-3 cups of coffee a day?

When consumed in moderation, coffee has minimal effects on vitamin absorption. This level of consumption (1-3 cups) is generally considered to be safe. However, if you have concerns about digestion or absorption, be sure to consult your healthcare team prior to purchase for personalised dietary recommendations.

Does coffee inhibit the absorption of vitamins when a person has a high coffee consumption of, say, 5-7 cups of coffee a day?

High or excessive coffee consumption may slightly prevent the absorption of some nutrients by the body. If you consume large quantities of coffee on a regular basis, discuss your total intake and overall nutritional status with your healthcare professional.

Coffee naturally already has some micronutrients, including potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, folate, choline, and sodium. Does adding vitamins and minerals to coffee increase its health benefits?

Yes, BEVAS fortified coffee blends can increase health benefits by delivering both natural micronutrients and antioxidants, along with your daily dose of essential vitamins and minerals. Our blends are scientifically crafted to provide you with a nourishing start to your day.

Does adding vitamins and minerals to good-quality coffee enhance its effects?

Combining high-quality coffee with added vitamins and minerals creates a functional beverage that supports specific health goals such as improved energy, focus, or immunity. At BEVAS, we have scientifically crafted blends that allow you to combine the rituals of drinking coffee and taking a daily multivitamin.

Do the natural vitamins in coffee interact negatively with the added vitamins in the blends?

The BEVAS team of coffee experts and nutritionists have fine-tuned the perfect combination of natural and added vitamins to maximise their benefits without adverse interactions while preserving great taste.

Does the heat from roasting or brewing coffee destroy the coffee’s natural micronutrients (vitamins or minerals)?

Roasting coffee does slightly reduce some of the micronutrients, such as niacin or some antioxidants, but does not impact minerals, such as magnesium and potassium. Brewing methods extract micronutrients differently, but natural and added heat-resistant ingredients remain largely intact, ensuring the coffee retains its nutritional value.

Can taking additional minerals or vitamins have a life-shortening effect?

When consumed within the daily recommended allowances, vitamins and minerals are safe and necessary for the body. Like most things, excessive intake can pose risks. If you have concerns, consult your healthcare provider to balance your overall nutrient intake.

Because coffee is a diuretic, does this have a negative effect on the natural and added vitamins and minerals?

Coffee/caffeine’s mild diuretic effect (increases urine production) has minimal impact on nutrient absorption/levels. In fact, the fluid in caffeinated drinks usually balances out this effect. However, drinking water alongside coffee can ensure adequate hydration and uptake of both natural and added nutrients in the BEVAS blends.

Coffee may protect your brain from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s—is this true?

Some research has indicated that coffee may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s due to its antioxidants and other compounds like chlorogenic acids. Caffeine in coffee is able to cross the blood–brain barrier and may provide neuroprotective benefits, such as reducing amyloid-beta—a protein associated with Alzheimer’s—and memory loss.

Coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of type 2 diabetes—is this true?

Some research supports that moderate coffee consumption—both regular and decaf—may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. This benefit has been noted complementarily with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Of course, this effect can be reduced if you add unhealthy sugars and sweeteners, so keep that in mind.

Coffee drinkers have a lower risk of liver diseases—is this true?

Some evidence suggests that moderate coffee consumption (2 cups per day) can reduce the risk of certain liver conditions. Researchers believe that this is due, in part, to coffee’s antioxidant properties, which support cell health.

Coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of depression and suicide—is this true?

Some studies have linked moderate coffee/caffeine consumption with a reduced risk for depression. However, mental health outcomes are influenced by many factors, and individual responses to caffeine can vary. For questions about how our blends may affect your mental health, discuss the ingredients with your doctor before purchasing.

Some studies show that coffee drinkers live longer—is this true?

Research has associated moderate coffee consumption with longevity, likely due to antioxidants and their potential health benefits. However, lifestyle and personal biology/genetics play significant roles in longevity and life expectancy.

Coffee contains caffeine, a stimulant that can enhance brain function and boost metabolism—is this true?

The caffeine in coffee serves as a natural stimulant and can enhance alertness and metabolism when consumed in moderation. These effects vary from person to person and also depend on consumption levels.

Coffee contains some essential nutrients and is extremely high in antioxidants—is this true?

Yes, coffee provides essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and niacin. Also, the BEVAS blends are fortified with supplements to boost the nutrient content to meet your needs. Coffee is also rich in antioxidants. Together, these ingredients can support overall health and help protect your cells from oxidative stress.

Are the health claims backed by scientific research?

All of our health claims have been reviewed and are supported by the relevant regulations and guidelines in the EU and UK.

Can I drink BEVAS coffee while pregnant?

Every pregnancy is different. To understand more about your specific needs and limits on caffeine, vitamin consumption, or any of the other added ingredients we use, we strongly recommend consulting with your doctor before purchasing.

Can I still take my regular vitamins while drinking BEVAS coffee?

If you’re already taking regular vitamins, you should consider the total amount of each vitamin you’re consuming from both sources. It’s recommended to stay within the recommended daily allowances for vitamins and minerals to avoid excessive intake. If you’re unsure, consult a healthcare professional who can provide personalised guidance.

Are there any potential interactions with medications?

Discuss all medications you’re taking, including vitamin-infused products, with your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide personalised guidance based on your medical history and medications to determine potential interactions and how to manage them.
